I do also want to say that we also let members that are having issues with possible TOS violations know that if they are unsure about an image they can also send it to a staff before uploading just to be on the safe side. 

And also want to say that svdl is correct in stating that sometimes its not cut and dry on whether an image is a violation that is why we never make individual decisions on our own, we always get the team opinions and views with discussion on the potential violation.  We feel that with as many team members as we have all with different views on things, its much more consistent in allowing a team of staff to make the decision so we can hear the different points of view.

We have a system in place that is stated in the TOS on how violations can lead to a ban. And as I stated above we give education and warnings before a ban is just issued. We feel that members have a certain responsibility as well to read and understand the guidelines and if they are unsure to check first and avoid an incident.  If a member likes to stay "close to the edge" then its best for them to get a confirmation before posting the image.
